Understanding metal corrosion and its prevention is vital for the safety and integrity of a boat. Failure through corrosion or fatigue can result in masts falling down, keels falling off or boats quietly sinking in their moorings. Less dramatic are such problems as pitting or fracture of propeller shafts, erosion of pipe work, rusting of steel hulls and galvanic corrosion of aluminum ones.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Of all the books in the Powerboat Reports/Practical Sailor libraries, one of the most coveted guides has been Nigel Warren's Metal Corrosion in Boats. That's why we're happy that Sheridan House has published a second edition of this most helpful of reference books... This is an excellent little book (224 pages including index) that we think just about any boat owner would find a valuable addition to his or her marine reference shelf. -- Powerboat Reports, May 1999
Unless you are a walking encyclopedia, capable of holding in your head the corrosive properties of dozens of metals and the mathematics it requires to install correct anodes, Nigel Warren's book belongs in your nautical library. -- Ocean Navigator, July/August 1998
